NOE 355hp at 1250.
Only recovered one with the hp blown off, the rest were pass through. I did shoot 2 with 1 bullet, maybe that's the one I found?
Anyway 7 pigs down, long days work, but they are all cleaned and in the freezer.

Excellent work!
If you live on the razor's edge and slip, you will die in two pieces
Congrats! That 480 seems to be a real Grocery Gitter!
Good job Glen, keep hammering those hogs!

Nice! What was the alloy you used?
50-50 WW-PB air cooled NOE 355 gc hp. I'll have to check the label, but it was either 2400 or 4227 loaded to around 1250fps.
Got 2 with 1 shot, lol
2 with one shot is good lead conservation. Way to Go! I hunted them years ago in Fl. But there are very few here in S.W. Va.
Good work! Post bbq pics when ready!
Great use of a 480 Ruger!

I think it's a greatly under-utilized caliber. I love my SRH .480
Well done, Lar!
Me too! Sometimes I wish my SRH was a 9.5” and sometimes I am glad it’s a 7.5”

Sorry, no after pics. Dinner was great!
Thank you for that fine writeup and photos ! 7 hogs would be a whole lot of work !
We have a 475 Linebaugh but shoot it more like a 475 Special.
How did the Auto-loader do ? Could that be a be a 1911 in all it's "not good for anything" glory ? Never failed us any.
Arkansas is looking like a favorable place to consider retiring to.

trap and release?
Whatever!
Great job!
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

Yep, released them right into the freezer.
The auto was a 40S&W with jhp. They did not penetrate well at all. I used it for the final head shot and it did well there.
There were a couple coming in on the cameras between 1-4am , but never showed when we stayed up for them.
Thank you.... I would think 45 ACP with military ball loads would be somewhat minimum for big hogs.

The 40 was my brother in law's.
My 45 Longslide is loaded with 275 lfn cast @ 950fps. I may have to try it sometime.
Lar45 what part of Arkansas I used to live in Magnolia still have a sister and daughter living there and a great job on the hogs mighty tasty eating off the grill.
We were just south of Bearden
